About

Provided by Kirkland & Ellis

Kirkland has one of the largest Government, Regulatory & Internal Investigations (GR&II) groups in the world, with over 200 attorneys who work on white-collar criminal defense and securities enforcement matters, including more than 50 who previously served as senior enforcement professionals from the U.S. DOJ, SEC, FTC, DHS, White House, Congress and the UK SFO. These individuals have extensive experience in both senior government positions and in leading the defense of some of the world’s largest multinational corporations. While in government service, our partners authored policies and regulations that remain central to the evaluation and disposition of corporate and anti-corruption cases, in both the U.S. and the UK.

 

Our GR&II team works seamlessly across the globe, representing Global Fortune 500 companies, bulge-bracket private equity firms and investment banks, as well as their officers and directors in their most sensitive matters, which typically are resolved confidentially, but have also included some of the largest public representations in history.
